Katy Perry speaks out against "perverted" paparazzi photographers

Katy Perry has written a statement criticizing the treatment she recently received from the paparazzi whilst on tour in Australia. 

The 'Dark Horse' singer posted a note on Twitter yesterday (November 22) explaining a particularly unpleasant encounter she had with the paparazzi whilst trying to enjoy a day off. 

In a note directed at the Australian press, Katy wrote: "You should be ashamed of your paparazzi & tabloid culture." 

She explained: "I was stalked by many grown men today as I tried to take a quiet walk on the beach... They told me to make a 'deal' with them. Give them a bathing suit shot and they would leave me be." 

30-year-old Perry has strongly objected to this media practice: "This is PERVERTED & disgusting behavior that should NEVER be tolerated, especially by people who do not want this."
